HARVEST TIME
IN TEMECULA VALLEY! cupcakes, cheesecake and more

By Ken Zignorski
baked fresh daily with the finest ingredients
Well…it’s harvest time in Temecula Valley!
Harvest is a bit late this year given the unusually cool spring and
summer we’ve had. Generally, white grapes are harvested in ear-
ly August and red grapes in mid to late September, but this has
all been pushed back by about 3-4 weeks this year.
Harvest usually takes place during the evening (or very early
morning) hours – when the weather is much cooler. Tractors
rigged with large lights enter the vineyards and the farm crews
start the tedious task of cutting grape clusters off the vines.
Many times people ask, “Why does harvest take place at night,
in the dark?” Well there are two general reasons. First, there is a
worker safety concern - it is often way too hot to harvest grapes
in the middle of the day – especially when temperatures can be
in the low 100s. Second, the grapes are much firmer and concen-
trated in taste, color and composition in the cool evening hours

BUTTERNUT SQUASH BISQUE

• 2 large butternut squash • A bunch of fresh sage • Extra-virgin olive oil
• 2 tablespoons coriander seeds • 11 ounces (300 grams) chestnuts • 2 cups Heavy Cream
• 2 dried chillies (optional)
• A few glugs olive oil • 1 onion, finely chopped
• 10 slices pancetta, cut into 1/2- • About 2 3/4 pints chicken stock
inch (1 centimetre) pieces • 4 tablespoons sour cream
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. (200 degrees C/Gas 6)
Cut the squash in half and remove the seeds, reserving these for later. Using your pestle and mortar, bash up
the coriander and chili, nice and fine, and sprinkle over the squash. Drizzle with a little oil and roast in a hot
oven until nice and soft.
Heat a little oil in a large pan and fry the pancetta with half the sage leaves. Add the chestnuts and the onion
and fry gently for about 15 minutes. By this time the squash will be ready, so spoon it out into the pan, leaving
the skin behind. Cover with the stock and bring to a boil. Remove half the mixture and blend until smooth,
then pour back into the pan, add heavy cream, simmer for an additional 2 minutes.
Take the rest of the sage leaves and the reserved squash seeds and fry
them in a little oil until crisp. To serve, spoon a little sour cream on
top of the soup, sprinkle with a little of the crisp sage and seeds, and

Buy Local, Eat Fresh!

N
ow shoppers in the Temecula and Murrieta areas have
plenty of options for fresh and local produce. Fruits and
vegetables are piled high on tables every week at various
Certified Farmers’ Markets in the area. The locations, inspected
and certified by the Department of Agriculture, are home to
local farmers and ranchers that sell certified California-grown
products from their own farms.
Shopping at your local Certified Farmers’ Market (CFM) ensures

that you are getting the best and freshest in produce. Fruits and
vegetables found in your supermarkets have often traveled thou-
sands of miles from other countries that may not regulate their
pesticide use. Buying at a CFM means that your food has made
one trip from farm to market. You are supporting local economy
as well as helping cut back on carbon emissions, while getting
produce that was vine ripened and most likely picked the day
before.
The community of Murrieta just welcomed in the Murrieta

Certified Farmers’ Market on Sunday mornings at Village Walk
Plaza this summer, while Temecula has been home to the Satur-
day Old Town Temecula Certified Farmers’ Market for 20 years.
Both markets are managed by Farmers’ Market Management
Company, who also manage Promenade Mall Certified Farmers’
Market on Wednesdays, Canyon Lake Certified Farmers’ Mar-
ket on Sundays, and the Corona Certified Farmers’ Market on
Saturdays.
Customers at these Riverside County CFMs can shop locally,

buy fresh and eat healthy as the market has a large selection of
produce and specialty food items from local vendors.
“Farmers markets’ are good for your health, good for your com-
munity and good for the economy,” says Stacy Miller, Executive
Director of the Farmers’ Market Coalition, a nonprofit support-
ing farmers’ markets across the country.

CHANGE OUTER CONFLICT
INTO INNER PEACE
by Philip Greenwood
The martial art of Aikido is both a physical and a philosophi-

cal pursuit. When faced with conflict the techniques of Aikido
teach you to flow and blend in a way that redirects and controls
the attacker’s force while you remain totally calm and centered.
The philosophy of Aikido translates into a meaningful way of
life in which we learn that much of our stress is caused, not by
the events around us, but by conditions inside us.
Most martial arts are concerned with winning. But for the Ai-
kido student, temporary victories are not the goal. In this way,
Aikido is more like life where we must think beyond the ten-
sion of the moment. Sometimes winning is losing. For exam-
ple, you might win an argument, but lose a friend. What seems
direct or practical in the moment may end up causing the most
damage. A real martial artist is practicing to reduce conflict
and minimize damage in the broadest sense. Aikido has been
called the “non-fighting” martial art.
Nowadays, martial arts are increasingly equated with cage

fighting, kick boxing or karate classes for children, but the
most important aspect of martial art practice is the influence it
makes on the mind and heart of the practitioner. Aikido means
“the path of spiritual harmony” and this kind of martial art
training is a deeply personal path to cleanse the inner conflicts
of the mind and purify the heart.
In Aikido we often hear students make comments like, “My

wife says she likes me better since I’ve been training,” “I don’t
feel anxious and depressed now,” and “I find it so much easier
to deal with people.” A student recently commented, “Our dog
never wanted to be around me. A couple of months after I start-
ed in Aikido I became her favorite person.” A law enforcement
officer says that Aikido training has made a powerful mental
shift in his way of dealing with people in his work which has
lowered his stress and increased his enjoyment for his work.
People who become interested in Aikido are not interested in
violence or competition, but are looking to cultivate mental
and physical power and calmness in their life. With Aikido
they find a way to combine their physical goals with a deeper
sense of purpose.
Dr. Philip Greenwood teaches adult classes in Aikido and Iaido (Japanese
swordsmanship) in Murrieta. He has trained in Aikido for 35 years under
the guidance of some of the world’s leading masters. He also has a successful
chiropractic practice in Murrieta of over 20 years where he practices gentle
and effective Japanese style chiropractic. Learn more about aikido in Mur-
rieta at www.GreenwoodAikido.com or phone 951-600-0550.

only to reflect on them later and say, “Wow, I have no idea why
I chose ….. (insert dubious album title here!)”. The other sur-
prise is that the list will rarely stay the same. We’ve found that it
will vary based on mood, weather, even time of day. And I think
that’s because of the very nature of what music is. As an art form
it is not only personal, but it also can be a shared experience.
Some songs bring back memories of halcyon times or lost loves
but when heard with others, say at a concert, it can take on a to-
tally different feel. A track like “With or Without You” by U2 can
be melancholy when listened to alone, but catch Bono and the
boys performing it at Angel Stadium and it suddenly becomes
almost majestic as 80,000 voices join them on the chorus.
The type of music that we are first introduced to as kids and grow
up with also shapes our taste. For those of us who grew up with
The Beatles and Stones, it’s not a vast jump to listen to and en-
joy Coldplay, The Killers or Kings of Leon. But for our parents
it was always “What is that horrible noise you’re listening to?”
It’s probably been that way since the beginning of time. I can
see in my mind four kids dressed in bearskins sitting outside a
cave banging sticks on rocks when their mother storms outside
yelling “Quit that racket. Your father’s been out all day hunting
Wooly Mammoth and he needs some peace and quiet. If you
want to do something useful then rub those sticks together and
make a fire. Kids today!”
But things do seem to be changing a little when it comes to the

acceptance of music. Are human tastes diversifying or is it just
because we are all so much more exposed to musicians and art-
ists than we have ever been in history? Everyone still has person-
al favorites, of course, but singers from other genres, particularly
pop, seem to be crossing over to appeal to almost every age range

Lukas Nelson of Promise of the Real and Gilby Clarke of Guns N’
Roses at a photo shoot for Quick Throttle Magazine and the Help Ride
at Quaid Harley in Temecula. Last year at Help Ride, Nelson and his
band were the breakout hit of the festival, and with their anticipated
new album, they are sure to be the hit for this year as well. Rock Vet-
eran Clarke is back to host the event. Both musicians cited that they
enjoy Temecula, and all that it has to offer, and look forward to doing
more events in wine country.
